US
approves new test detecting AIDS virus
AFP [ FRIDAY,
WASHINGTON:
A new diagnostic device allowing to detect the AIDS virus in as little as 20
minutes has received government approval in the United States in what officials
described as a major step toward curbing the deadly epidemic.
"It's
going to be a wonderful tool for our counselors and people to help us in our
fight against HIV/AIDS in the country
and in the world," said Health
and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson as he announced yesterday the US
Food and Drug Administration's decision.
The
OraQuick rapid diagnostic test kit that was developed by OraSure
Technologies, a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based medical research company, uses less than a drop of blood from a finger and has an
accuracy rate of 99.6 per cent,
according to health officials.
After
collection, the blood is transferred to a vial where it is mixed with a
developing solution.
The
test device is then inserted into the vial where, if HIV-1 antibodies are
present, it displays two reddish-purple lines in a small window.
Unlike
other antibody tests for HIV, the new device can be stored at room temperature
and may be considered for use outside of traditional laboratory or clinical
settings.
For
the moment, however, the OraQuick test has been
approved to be conducted only in laboratory conditions by certified medical
personnel.

Two-year sex ban urged in
By Adrian Blomfield
in
(Filed:
THE Kenyan president, Daniel arap Moi, has called on his
people to abstain from sex for two years to
curb the spread of Aids.
He told a pharmaceutical
conference that he was embarrassed at the number of condoms his east African
country imports. Newspapers quoted him as saying: "As a president, I am
shy that I am spending millions of shillings importing those things.
"I will do the best I
can, but the solution is to prevent,
not to participate," he added,
before urging Kenyans to refrain from
sex "even for only two
years".
Mr Moi's government said this
week that it would import 300 million condoms in a bid to fight Aids, which kills an estimated 700 Kenyans every day.
The president's call for
abstinence appeared to be falling on
deaf ears. Felix Githingi, a computer
technician, asked: "How can I do
that? Am I not a Kenyan man. There are three important things for a Kenyan man: to
drink beer, to eat the meat of the
goat and to have sex."
But Mr
Moi's call has received support from the Roman
Catholic Church and the Islamic community. Both oppose the use of condoms
despite the scale of the epidemic.
More than two million Kenyans
are infected with HIV out of a population of 30 million.

Review
When we hear
“AIDS”, to many it is “How
disgusting!”
BUT that is living-death. Something that spreads through unsafe sex. With man’s cocky sexual behaviour and women’s
“self-controlled nature”, isn’t it
better we live a restricted life
to protect ourselves from living-death? At the
moment of writing, this single disease which kills many a man and woman per
day, around the world, doesn’t have a cure. So why society
run after sex? Isn’t unsafe sex that spreads this disease AIDS?
Just imagine what could be the
life of an AIDS patient?
Carefree as
everyone? Smiling? Happy? Healthy? Free as a bird?
A society outcast! Shunned by everyone.

“Thou belongest to That Which Is Undying, and not merely to time alone,” murmured the Sphinx, breaking its muteness at
last. “Thou
art eternal, and not merely of the vanishing flesh. The soul in man cannot be
killed, cannot die. It waits, shroud-wrapped,
in thy heart, as I waited, sand-wrapped, in thy world. Know thyself, O mortal! For there is One within thee, as in all men, that comes
and stands at the bar and bears witness that there IS a God!”
